Safety
The high voltage interference pulse can contain a very large quantity of energy and every precaution
shall be taken to avoid contact with EUT during a test. It is highly recommended that at least one other
person is present (or very close by) during the test.
Test Configuration
EUT
Setup
The EUT shall be setup in a typical system configuration on an isolated wooden bench with NO
GROUNDPLANE. The power to the EUT and auxiliary equipment shall be from 12V or 24V sealed
lead-acid batteries via a suitable fuse. The length of the EUT power cable shall be no more than 2m.
Any screens within the system shall be terminated at the battery very connection.
EUT- Operating-
Configuration
All operating configurations should be tested with appropriate performance criteria defined for each
test.
Performance Criteria
From BS EN 61000-4-5: 2006
Performance criteria C: Temporary loss of function or degradation of performance, the correction of
which requires operator intervention.
